Star Trek: The Next Generation:
Mirror Broken #1 Sells Out

Second Printing From IDW Publishing Beaming To Comic Shops

“This year is the 30th anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and this comic from IDW is the perfect way to celebrate the occasion.” - Nerdist

San Diego, CA (May 12, 2017) – The Next Generation crew of Star Trek
are boldly going to The Mirror Universe! Enter a sleeveless, jacked
Captain Jean-Luc Picard, sporting an “evil” goatee, and you have a
decidedly new fangled take on the classic Mirror Universe concept made
popular by the original Star Trek series.

The Mirror Universe has never been this buff, and the mainstream press took notice:

“Look at those arms. Look at that facial hair.
Clearly, this isn’t the Captain Jean-Luc Picard you grew up with, but
you can be damned sure that he’s about to become your new favorite.
Somehow The Next Generation has gone all Mirror Universe, and we can’t wait to see it in action!” - io9

I'm sorry ... did you miss the word "sleeveless" and "jacked" and "Picard" above? Because yes. Very, very yes. - NPR

Over 100,000 copies of the Star Trek: The Next Generation: Mirror Broken
FCBD prelude issue were given away on Free Comic Book Day and caused a
stir among both the media and fans. As a direct result, the debut issue
of the “Mirror Broken” limited series has sold out at the distributor
level in advance of the on sale date.

Fans
can still head to their comic shop on launch day to snatch up a copy
before they are gone or purchase the issue digitally, but for those who
miss out on a first edition and would like to collect this
groundbreaking issue in print, a second printing has been issued to meet
the demand of this highly anticipated debut.

The
FCBD prelude was recently spotlighted by multiple outlets as one of the
“can’t-miss” giveaways at your local comic shop with the LA Times, NPR, Nerdist, io9, Ain’t It Cool News, CBR, and many more adding it to their top picks.

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Mirror Broken #1, written by Scott and David Tipton, with art by J.K. Woodward, goes on sale on May 17, 2017 with the “shattered cover” second printing following on May 31, 2017.
